### Setting up Gitian on a VM using LXC ###
|
|
|
|
If your main machine is a 64-bit Mac or PC with a few gigabytes of memory
|
|
and at least 10 gigabytes of free disk space, you can `gitian-build` using
|
|
LXC running inside a virtual machine (VirtualBox, VMware, probably others too).
|
|
|
|
Here's a description of Gavin's setup on OSX 10.6:
|
|
|
|
1. Download and install VirtualBox from [https://www.virtualbox.org/](https://www.virtualbox.org/)
|
|
|
|
2. Download the 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS .iso CD image from
|
|
[http://www.ubuntu.com/](http://www.ubuntu.com/)
|
|
|
|
3. Run VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine, using the Ubuntu .iso (see the [VirtualBox documentation](https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Documentation) for details). Create it with at least 2 gigabytes of memory and a disk that is at least 50 gigabytes big.
|
|
|
|
4. Inside the running Ubuntu desktop, install:
|
|
|
|
sudo apt-get install debootstrap lxc ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder
|
|
|
|
5. Still inside Ubuntu, tell gitian-builder to use LXC, then follow the instructions below:
|
|
|
|
export USE_LXC=1
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Sanity check:
|
|
|
|
sudo service apt-cacher-ng status # Should return apt-cacher-ng is running
|
|
|
|
Enable bridging interface for networking:
|
|
|
|
sudo brctl addbr br0
|
|
sudo ifconfig br0 10.0.2.2/24 up
|
|
|
|
Once you've got the right hardware and software:
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/dogecoin/dogecoin.git
|
|
git clone git://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git
|
|
|
|
Prepare the builder VMs:
|
|
|
|
cd gitian-builder
|
|
bin/make-base-vm --lxc --suite precise --arch i386
|
|
bin/make-base-vm --lxc --suite precise --arch amd64
|
|
cd ..
|
|
|
|
Now follow the build process under doc/release-process to first build the dependecies
|
|
(one time task, or when the dependencies change) and then the client packages.
